RE: X9 | X10 - Acquisition of interdeck coaches from Oxford Bus Company
The coaches on X9/X10 are an excellent idea they have been needed for years. However its lack of maintenance on a GNE wide problem. Engineering don't have the staff or the budget to fix everything properly. Buses regularly go out with minor faults which get put off getting fixed and then eventually its becomes a major problem and bus breaks down completely. Other operators have exactly the same issues don't get me wrong. The company will not spend an awful lot of money on things until the future is more certain and the threat of a complete takeover is gone completely.
